Thank the person who nominated you.

Add The One Lovely Blog Award + The Very Inspiring Blogger Award to your post.

Over the course of researching and writing my first full-length screenplay entitled Who is Laurence Harvey? (about the forgotten international film star Laurence Harvey [1928 – 1973]), I developed a bit of a hobby.

“What hobby?” you ask.

Collecting every single last image of Laurence Harvey I can find on the internet, that’s what!!

I currently have over 450 images saved in my Laurence Harvey folder.

Here, I thought I’d share some of my favorite images. These are the images that I hope will one day influence the production/design of this film.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these images!!

The following is a list of various works (literature, poetry, art, etc.) that have influenced me and may influence new projects in the future, as well as ideas that have been churning around in my head.

Also, this is a sort of semi-reading list for books I would like to read and re-read. Some advice for anyone interested in reading these books: Project Gutenberg, Bartleby.com, etc. are WONDERFUL for literature written in English. But if you are interested in Dumas, Hoffmann, Pushkin, or any other author who did not write in English, I would highly recommend Penguin Classics — their English translations are always BRILLIANT (although the very best, of course, is to read a work in its original language — for instance, I happen to hate Dazai Osamu and Yoshimoto Banana translated [no offense to the translators, it’s not their fault], but I absolutely love them in the original Japanese)!!

In no particular order…

Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin: about to read.

The Tales of Hoffmann by E.T.A. Hoffmann: must read.

The Moonstone, etc. by Wilkie Collins: must re-read/read.

The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri: have read.

The works of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: have read/must read.

Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther and his friend Karl Wilhelm Jerusalem: have read/would like to continue to research.

Philipp Otto Runge, Romantic German painter: have researched.

The Count of Monte Cristo, The Black Tulip, etc. by Alexandre Dumas: have read.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and The Suicide Club by Robert Louis Stevenson: must read.

Confessions of an English Opium-Eater by Thomas De Quincey: must read.

John Singer Sargent and the Portrait of Madame X: have seen at the Met/must research.
